Right, time for a bit of a rebrand.
Oh god, did I just use the word 'rebrand'?
Bloody hell. Yes, I am a faceless corporation. I have a brand.
I've changed my name a bit cos I've got a new music project. Here's a song: ashfeathers.bandcamp.com/alb…

If the selfie is black and white maybe you won't notice the look of terror
I'm in the studio to record a Tom Slatter song. One with alternate bars of 5 and 7, parts in 3 different keys and multiple tempos.
What cruel bastard writes this stuff?

Time hasn't finished yet. I will never not point this out. The phrase 'of all time' includes the future. Why are there no guitar players from the future on this list?

Today I learned that in 2002 my current hometown hosted the first and only officially licensed European Transformers convention 'Botcon'.
Who says there's no culture in Cheshunt?

When we used to be a proper cuntry
🇬🇧 WHEN BRITAIN USED TO BE A PROPER COUNTRY 🇬🇧
A proper thread about a proper country.
I see those nostalgia pages about the UK full of just old photos of towns looking grim whilst the author says something racist. So he's a proper thread celebrating when Britain was proper! 🧵

@JRTwrites did you notice this little detail?
I've seen (perfectly legit) criticism of #DoctorWho 'Boom' asking why The 15th Doctor just ends the immediate conflict and doesn't also go on to dismantle Villengard's systems since they are the real villains of the story.
Because he already did.

Sad to hear about all the problems that have led to cancelled concerts at the new Co-op arena. Very sad for Olivia Rodrigo fans.
Peter Kay and possibly Keane cancelled too. So it's not all bad.

New Song!
What You're Aiming For is the 1st track from my new EP, World Ending. It's about the end of a relationship, but it has verses in 15/8 to keep all the weirdos* happy. Please listen to it and inflict it on others.

* I am one of those weirdos.

This song was a @FAWM song from this year, which means I wrote the whole thing in about an hour.
I have never noticed any correlation between how long a do g takes to write and the quality of the song. I've had some good ones take 49 mins and some take 20 years.

One of my favourite songwriting tools is a weird reference book. My latest is the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows. It's a sort of earnest Meaning of Liff, full of made up words for the stranger, most melancholy feelings.

I have a creative arts degree. Because of it I am a much better composer than I otherwise would have been. Money well spent.
Someone needs to explain to this idiot the meaning of words like 'value' and 'education'.
Amazing chart in new brilliant @timleunig post on creative arts degrees. They are bad value for the taxpayer AND the student.

Yeah, but it's considerably better than the black album. Black tails off at the end and has a couple of songs you could cut. Draconian Times doesn't have any filler.
Paradise Lost’s 1995 epic Draconian Times is the Black Album of British metal

As a young man I was totally taken in by the new atheists. I kinda saw Hitchens was too keen on war, but I didn't figure out the unpleasant politics and defence of Christianity until later.
These days I'm far more atheist than I was, but no time for this lot.
The new atheism was always elitist, pseudo intellectual and - crucially - reactionary in liberal secular guise. The Islamophobia, coloniality, European chauvinism and defence of Christianity and Christian culture was always there.

Oh dear. Those Ulez vandals will be doing something about this, I assume?
A Live Facial Recognition deployment will be coming to Lewisham. This technology is used to find people who threaten or cause harm, those who are wanted or have outstanding arrest warrants issued by the court.
The deployment will also be supported by local officers.
